Fair Grounds Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Claiming
EMANCIPATION (1) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last start. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. BROCK'S BOY (5) is yet to break through after six career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1609m at this track (Turf) last start. Should be in the mix. KEY MAN (4) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths when in the market. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. STANDARD DEDUCTION (6) was never in contention when 11 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1609m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth on debut at this track the run before. Has the talent to figure prominently.
